The First Store System

Chapter 1485: Trial of Power(7)

Seeing all that wealth before him, Huo Jinglin's breath roughened up. He had to take repeated deep breaths to calm down his heart and remove the greed that had appeared.

Even though the herbs in the garden could make him healthy, he could not get them. All he needed to do was choose one herb, defeat its guardian, and leave the ice cave.

Knowing things and doing things were never similar, so it took a lot for Huo Jinglin to calm himself down. Once he had calmed down, he finally stepped into the garden.

The next moment, his eyes widened in shock after finding that what he saw earlier was only one part of the garden. The garden was in a different space that would only fully reveal itself once someone stepped inside.

In front of him, there was an endless garden and thriving herbs at regular intervals. Huo Jinglin needed to pick one that was fully mature(10,000,000 years old) and could help a breakthrough from Level 2 to Level 3.

There was information about how to distinguish between mature and young herbs, so he didn't need to worry about picking the wrong herb.

Huo Jinglin needed to go further deep inside to find a mature herb, so without wasting any time, he walked forward.

Herbs were placed at regular intervals of three meters, and after traveling for around thirty minutes, he finally found his first mature Frozen Acratic Nine-Ring herb.

Huo Jinglin didn't immediately pick the herb since there was hesitation in his heart about choosing it. Trusting his intuition, he ignored the herb and walked forward.

Finally, after reaching the seventh herb, Huo Jinglin readied his heart and chose it. As he stepped into the 1 meter range of the herb, an invisible energy wave pushed him.

Huo Jinglin couldn't even struggle against that, and following that, he found himself in an open ice desert with his opponent not far from him.

Huo Jinglin didn't recognize the race of the creature, so he didn't waste his time thinking about the opponent and prepared himself for the battle. He only cared for the power level of the beast, and as his fortune would have it, it was a Level 1 beast, the same level as Huo Jinglin.

Ding!

A bell rang, and the opponent and Huo Jinglin made their moves at the same time.

Time flew by, and the battle found its victor. Fortunately for Huo Jinglin, the opponent wasn't of the caliber of the Bestial Cormorant, so despite being at the same level, he overwhelmingly dominated the opponent and won the battle.

Immediately after the battle, a white light shrouded him. The next moment, he found himself back at the entrance of the city, with a square box in his hand.

It was a locked square box that contained the herb chosen by Huo Jinglin.

He couldn't help but smile in relief since the first challenge didn't give him much trouble. Anticipating what was waiting for him, Huo Jinglin stepped into the gate and entered the city.

The first thing that caught Huo Jinglin's attention after entry was the endless tower. He immediately had an idea that he needed to enter the tower.lightsnovel

Huo Jinglin didn't waste any time and walked in that direction. He didn't come across a single soul and reached the entry point of the tower.

The same masked figure was waiting for him at the entry point. Huo Jinglin respectfully bowed toward the figure.

The masked figure finally acknowledged his bows and nodded. They then gestured for Huo Jinglin to follow.

Huo Jinglin did as told and followed the masked figure inside the tower. He thought that he would come across another challenge, but nothing of the sort happened, and he entered the tower's first floor.

There was nothing before him but a white gate the same size as him.

The masked figure opened the door without making any sound and entered inside. Huo Jinglin also followed them inside after a moment of cautiousness.

Huo Jinglin couldn't help but mock himself for being cautious against someone who could kill the residual soul of a Sacred Creator in a single strike. The power difference between the two parties was such that no scheme in the world could help him survive against the masked figure.

As he walked inside the white gate, a new world appeared on the other side. He finally saw other living beings.

Huo Jinglin stood in a thriving market, with the sounds of their chattering continuously ringing in his ear. The laughter and casual moment infected Huo Jinglin, who had been worried sick since he came here, and it helped remove some of the stress Huo Jinglin had been carrying.

"Do you want to sell the Frozen Acratic Nine-Ring herb?" Huo Jinglin's attention returned to the market when a man suddenly came to him and asked, pointing at the square box in his hands.

Huo Jinglin looked surprised since the masked figure was nowhere to be found. He then shook his hand and stopped thinking about the masked figure since if they wanted to meet him, they would appear.

He instead focused on the man in front of him. It was a humanoid being several feet shorter than him, but when he looked at the man, he immediately bowed down, calming his shocked heart.

The feeling he received from the man was similar to what he had received from his father. It was only some time in his journey, and he had already come across a couple of Sacred Creators.

He didn't dare to ignore the man and nodded since he had no use for the Frozen Acratic Nine-Ring herb. He was a fire user, and it would harm him instead of proving beneficial.

"Come with me," The man smiled upon getting confirmation from the stranger and asked him to follow.

It had been countless years since the Frozen Acratic Nine-Ring herb disappeared from the market. If it were in good condition, the man would earn a premium.
